Club 80-90 Forums

Hi everyone
Got fed up searching the forum for rust treatments (every thread must contain the word rust)
So can anyone tell me the best surface rust treatment please

Dan

an angle grinder

or a shot blaster

short but to the point kev!!!

I was going to clean the offending area with the soft pad on the grinder but was after the best paint on sort of thing

try looking at http://www.frost.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; , they supply tools and equipment for classic vehicle restorers. they have quite a good range of rust treatments. I have ordered quite a few bits from them in the past, and have just ordered some rust treatment products which came today, converust rc 900 which is supposed to be pretty good.

Vactan is a product everyone seems to rate (do a search for it in the forum)....

Kurust. Works for me.

Cheers guys

Grind as much away as possible, kbs aqua clean to degrease, then kbs rust blast to 'melt' a bit more rust away, then vactan to stabilise what's left then kbs rust seal paint to seal the area, then chemical metal skim on top and sand, then zinc undercoat then topcoat then lacquer...

It has taken me bl@@dy ages, but in some areas there has been no return of the dreaded bubbles for over a year...

Not bad for a T25 eh? LOL

grind/blast it all away.. or it'll come back.

these chemical treatments go about two atoms deep in to the rust, while the remainder lies in wait.

don't leave the the area in primer that's a moisture magnet.. might aswell leave it in the sea
